The only issue I have is the cost of the medication through my prescription insurance but will continue taking it because it works and doesn't have any noticeable

Comment: I have been taking Bystolic for about 4 years now. It has worked very well for me. I have tried several other bp medications, all of which had terrible side effects... terrifying nightmares, extreme tiredness, chest pain, just to name a few. All of that has completely stopped. My blood pressure stays around 120/80 give or take.

I guess HCTZ and herbal supplements take time to take up the slack left from
